Open Files
The Open Files tab provides an overview of all files and folders that are
currently open on the computer, including information on the file type and
location and which process is currently using the file.
You should not be surprised when some files are shown in the list more than
once. Files and folders can be opened by more than one process at the same time.
It is also normal when files that are obviously “open” cannot be found in the list.
Applications like Microsoft Word and the text editor Notepad only open a file
briefly to read its contents or to save it, but do not keep it open the entire time
you are working on it.
Tip: When you try to delete a file and the computer tells you that it is currently
in use, you can use this module to find out what process is using the file and
terminate it. This will let you delete the file.
Performance
The Performance tab provides detailed information on the current status of your
system.
You can view the current processor usage in percent, and a graph of the
processor usage for the last several seconds. A similar graph shows memory
usage for the last several seconds. You can also view the current usage of the
paging file and the physical memory on kilobytes.
